  • Abiotic Factors in Ecosystems: Definition & Examples
    Non-living elements in an ecosystem are called abiotic factors.

    Here are some examples of abiotic factors:

    * Sunlight: Provides energy for plants and other organisms.

    * Water: Essential for all living things.

    * Temperature: Affects the rate of biological processes.

    * Soil: Provides nutrients and support for plants.

    * Air: Provides oxygen for breathing and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.

    * Rocks: Provide shelter and habitat for some organisms.

    Abiotic factors interact with biotic factors (living organisms) to create a complex and interconnected ecosystem.
